“If I were to be limited to one camera and lens for eternity—film or digital—the camera would have to be a Hasselblad Superwide SWC with Kodak Tri-X 400. The camera is built like a Swiss watch (but far tougher) and balances perfectly in the hand. It was designed by Victor Hasselblad in the early 1950s specifically as a camera for the new Zeiss 38mm f/4.5 Biogon—a lens too wide (90-degree AoV) for any existing camera at the time. The lens is incredibly sharp, and so distortion-free you can use the Superwide as a copy camera. The best part of the photos is that even though they are extremely wide-angle, they never look it. Fun fact: Almost every SWC Superwide produced in the 1970s and ’80s was hand-assembled by a Hasselblad technician named Florence.”
